After Cindy cleaned the bugs off our winshield in the Wal Mart parking lot in Utah we took off to Ely, Nevada (pronounced Elee). It was a long hot boring 400 miles past the Great Salt Lake into the Nevada desert with not a tree in sight. We picked a different place in Nevada we hadn't been to before. It is near Great Basin National Park which has caves and pristine beauty. Ely is a historical old mining town with train rides and a museum back to the past. They used to mine garnet here and you can go garnet picking which we did. There is one area which allows people to keep what you find. Most of it is in lava rock which you have to pick out. We brought a bunch of rocks to our motor home and Cindy chiseled out what she could while I cooked dinner (oven baked potatoes with broccoli and "cheese sauce" with corn on the cob. Tomorrow we will probably go to Great Basin National Park.
